Hovercraft Market By Size (Less than 10m, Between 10m and 20m, Greater than 20m), By Propulsion (Diesel powered, Gasoline powered, Others), By End Use (Passenger Transport and Tourism, Cargo Transportation, Defense, Search and Rescue, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
A hovercraft is also known as Air cushion vehicle (ACV) and is specifically utilized to explore narrow waterways and areas where traditional or conventional motorboats cannot be reached. In addition, hovercrafts come in different variations having different shapes and sizes. Moreover, advantages of hovercrafts comprise all-weather capability, efficiency, terrain independence, and speed.
Companies are developing and launching new hovercrafts to meet the transportation needs of military across the globe, which boosts the growth of the market. For instance, in October 2020, Kalashnikov Concern unveiled its new multifunctional hovercraft namely, “Haska-10”. The new hovercraft is 21 m long, 7.5 m high, and 12.5 wide. The new hovercraft can carry 10 tons of cargo as well as it can accommodate KamAZ or light armored Tiger-class vehicles on board. In addition, it comprises two 800-hp engines and has a top speed of 40 nautical knots.
Conventional hovercrafts are generally equipped with diesel powered engines as they were primarily used for transporting heavy payloads and personnel. Diesel engines in hovercrafts generate more torque, and run longer on a specific volume of fuel as compared to gasoline engines. In addition, diesel engines do not require spark plugs or electrical ignition system, which in turn improves performance of diesel-powered hovercrafts. In addition, companies are receiving contracts to deliver new hovercrafts to the buyers, which fuels the growth of the hovercraft market.
